Reclaimer

I gave it a download based off the video. Only thing I noticed at first glance was the location of the sniper rifle is slightly off but that's an aesthetic change and not a gameplay change so it's not a big deal. So far, looks better than the other remakes I've checked out.

 

Dang, you beat me to Guardian. My favorite Halo 3 1v1 map. So that means its a definite DL for me. Also the map looks REALLY too scale. And very accurate. I think one thing to make it better is to replace the juicy with a green FX. Also maybe some green lights.

 

guys dont forget you are supposed to download the map BEFORE you comment on it.

i downloaded this and played a small FFA match on it. It works and plays pretty much like guardian. You got the look pretty damn close. There are a few of the jumps that are wrong though, like jumping from the middle platform up to where the plasma nades and covie fusion coil thing are.

also, you should edit the available loadouts to NOT include the jetpack.
having a jetpack on this really ****s up the feel of the map. For example, you arent supposed to be able to drop down and get the shotty, and then float back up.

i really love what you did with the middle platform and the
teleporters for the aesthetics, it looks kick ass.

 

Gave it the promised playthrough - jumps are right and everything feels good. The framerate takes a hit in quite a few spots, though there's really nothing that can be done about that short of deleting unnecessary geometry.

 

The only big concern I had with this map is the area where the trees were in Guardian. You need to add another wall like structure, that area was supposed to be more covered so you wouldn't be so vulnerable there.

Other than that not many complaints, I like the new aesthetics of the map, i.e. the substitution of rocks instead of green, planty areas.

 

I went into to forge mode to try and see about some possible fixes for this map. First, the jump from center to gold lift is too long, it requires a crouch jump. Second, the ramps surrounding the center are pointless, just use a kill zone. Also need kill zones for upper areas to guard against jet packers. Maybe replace the grenade launcher with the concussion rifle. You also do not need the disk that is under the "blue room" and there is a arrow shaped piece you don't need under the hammer room. This should help with the frame rate. Also maybe try and find some lighting (maybe green?) that makes it feel more like Guardian. And for future reference, use the Edit Coordinates function in the "B" button menu to make sure your map is made on an axis rather than off axis. Makes it much harder to edit etc... I'm impressed you made it as well as you did without using the coordinates. Overall, very good map except for the things I mentioned.

 

is it me or in that video does the floor near the hammer look mad spasy

 

The sniper rifle being off isn't an aesthetic change because it DOES change gameplay. It's not a big deal... you just have to move it a few feet, but it does effect gameplay by the tiniest fraction.

Same here

One thing, in the video @ 0:17.5 - There looks to be a sort of nook to the right of the fusion coil that shouldn't be there.

Otherwise, VERY impressive! Wow! you get an A, good sir

 

do what i did, i made a 4 way symetrical base map, which has a gold, red, blue, and purple base. Each base has a light inside a structure, signaling both call outs and location. since i realized that you only have 2 lights i thought halo 3. i used custom powerup for gold, overshield for red. and then blue and purple lights.

I HIGHLY RECOMEND, YOU USE CUSTOM POWERUP FOR GOLD AND ACTIVE CAMO FOR BLUE ROOM, THEN PLACE 2 GREEN LIGHTS WHERE IT WILL MAKE THE MOST DIFFRENCE. BECAUSE GUARDIAN BEING MY FAVORITE HALO 3 MAP, IT BEING GREEN HAS A HUGE FEEL ON THE MAP. IF YOU MADE YOUR MAP GREEN USING THIS ADVICE, IT WOULD DEFINATLY FEEL MORE LIKE GUARDIAN, HOWEVER GREAT REMAKE THATS JUST TO MAKE IT BETTER IN MY OPINION.

5/5 BEST GUARDIAN REMAKE I'VE SEEN YET.

 

is there anyway to fix that floor problem id fix it but u have no forging skills lol and i also agree with the lighting should be green instead of juicy maybe for a v2 but definitely to scale and one of the best out there

 

i liked this map, but to me it seems to me that you tried to make it look nicer then trying for perfect size and shape. i think this could maybe one of the top guardians but if you don't improve it soon it will be dethrowned, i would rather play one something accurate then something pretty. im sorry if this post hurt ur feelings, but it is how i feel.
